Makovsky, who hails from Georgia but is based out of Pennsylvania, moved in and out well throughout the bout’s three rounds — scoring solid straight left hands from his southpaw stance. His uppercut was also an important weapon. The two exchanged takedowns and reversals as the bout continued, with Makovsky coming close to securing a rear naked choke towards the end of round three.
